This just happened. Posted: 05-08-08 15:06pm
I have been at work for about two hours
and fifteen minutes. This member came in
and I asked him how he was doing and he
said he wanted to kill himself. I
asked why and he counted pain, and that he
cannot see his children, he cannot work.
I said but God is there for us. He said if
God so loves us, He should take the member
to where God is. He asked me what I
thought about
and that is when I told that I have lost a
child.
His chin dropped.
He told me I was a stronger woman that him
and he added that he is not even a woman.
He
told me if his children were not here he
would not be here. I told him I want to
see Jessy but he doesn't hear me say I
want to kill myself. I told him that at
least his knows his children are somewhere
growing up. Mine is gone from the
physical.
He said it is the children that keep us.
I gave him a big hug and on his way out he
thanked me. I could see that my sentences
had an impact on him. Thankyou Jesus.
He thought he could just lay that on me.
God was with me
and I tackled it the best I could. I
talked about my experience. That never
fails. I always pray to God on my way to
work that He may help me so that He may
shine.
Those are the joys of working here.
In another hour and a half I will be
walking the labyrinth, going shopping for
lunch meats and buns. I have to pick up
materna vitamins, zip lock bags and Mr
Clean. I better make a list...
Always with love,
Mson.

My heart was pounding as I thought of what
else to say to this member. I knew it was
very important that I say the right thing.
I was thinking hard and I was in panic
and did not want the guy to see my
situation.

Thanks and praise be to God.
He was kind of asking if God loves us soo
much then why does he allow us to suffer.
Saying that if God loved us so, then He
should take us to where He is. He saw God
as a different person than Him. And God
was elsewhere. This was the real
challenge as he asked me what I thought
about that. With sweaty hands I told
about Jessy.
It is like a dream. Thanks Homerx for
difussing the situation with me. You
really are a servant of God. Always
standing mbae. Now I can see when you are
on line. I think it is a great feature.
16 minutes to go...
Jessy taught me to speak quietly, clearly
and precisely. Today was one day to use
what she taught me. It all started when
she was three and she wanted to pay and I
shouted, "Go play somewhere else!" She
asked me in the best manner, "Mami, why
are you shouting at me..." That got me on
my knees and I told her I was sick and I
would possibly die and that I was worried
about her. My first thought though was to
beat her and throw her off the balcony.
But her words dropped me on my knees.
That is Jessy's style.

You are an instrument of God, giving hope
to people. Just ask for protection from
the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Lord will
protect you.
I, too, sometimes have been asked to give
a message to a person in real spiritual
distress. The message is for them. Just
trust what God gives into your heart to
say to the person. The message must be
given without hesitation. No filtering it
out Mson. Just give what is given to you
for them.

Bobbie and Homerx. Posted: 05-09-08 23:25pm
Hey,
I am doing well. My husband
has gone with his sister to see mother in
law. I could have gone if I wanted to but
I said I was working. I am not going to
be put down. I am anointed and loved mbae
my Creator. I will not put myself in a
situation.
Like just now, the girl who is visiting
buzzed and I told her to come back when my
husband was home. I had discussed
this with my husband earlier on before he
left and he said it is my house. Before
that I had made him know that she is here
because of him and not me.
We have had discussions about this girl
even in 2006. I told him she is a thief
and he said that next I will be suspicious
about the next guest. He apologized about
that the other day.
All day I had decided I will tell her to
go away... until it was the moment and I
had to gather more courage. And I did.
I was listening to both of you when you
were saying that she should look for a
job. I heard you. Her abscess is all
gone.
I miss my husband but I am really glad to
have the house to myself. I wasn't about
to ruin that and let the girl in. No...
Tomorrow I will put on loud music and
clean.
When I told the girl to go away, she said
that her uncle wasn't home. I told her I
am sure she can find somewhere. She was
trying to say that she saw my husband
before he left. Baloney. I am the one
who had a talk with my husband and I too
saw him before he left. So what if she saw
him?
Thanks to both of you for being real. I
mean that from the bottom of my heart.
You are true friends.
When I put the phone down, my computer was
playing - I will survive - Gloria Gaynor.
I went down on all fours, head down and
thanked the forces that be for helping me
to have the courage to say what I wanted
to say. Then I danced to the song. It
was liberating.
I know you both love me.
Had to hide my shampoo the other day.
My type of hair takes only specific
shampoo which I use very little. I was
cleaning the tub on Friday and I touched
the bottle and it was almost half empty.
It is expensive stuff and so I hid it.
What else am I going to hide. Homerx you
are right, I should not have to hide
things in my own home. My cereal is
lasting longer but it is in the bedroom.
Good Lord have mercy.

Mson, one of my best friends
had a health problem and came to stay for
a week...it turned in to 6 weeks! he never
bought groceries yet ate like a king on
our $$$. He would order pizza to be
delivered when we were at work and would
order what he wanted knowing that ML and I
can not tolerate hot hot peppers...he
would make sure the pizza was hot with
jalapeƱos peppers and just things that he
knew we would not eat. He would never wash
a dish or clean up after himself. i
finally bought him a plane ticket to his
sisters because I was starting to dislike
him and I didn't want to. So put your foot
down, or have BH do it and tell her, you
are here as a guest and you must pay for
your own food, etc as we are not rich and
it is a burdin. I also put lots of food in
my bedroom closet to keep him from eating
us out of house and home. Its sad. I wold
never be able to take advantage of a
friend or family member like that.
I also have a friend who I have sent MJ
too and pain pills for her neck and head
ach and she also has turned on me and
decided that what I give is never enough,
even though I have never asked her to
reciprocate or pay me for what I have done
for her. Some people are just ungrateful.
Its a sin and a shame...live and learn.
Glad you and BH had a ball I know that
you will have a lot of fun at the
party...

Mson and Homer. There are always going to
be moochers out there. Let them in past
the doorstep and the problem is getting
them back to the other side of the door.
So this girl has an absess? So what? Let
her get her tail out there and get a job
at Wendy's or McDonald's. You work Mson.
Homer has his own responsibilities and
pulls his weight. Don't let people use
you because of your good hearts. They in
the end are not going to be thankful but
just secretly resent you because you have
it and they don't.

Oh my God Homerx! Posted: 05-10-08 12:29pm
Soo sorry to here about the departure of
your well loved puppy. Crying at such a
time is healthy.
Here are some poems written mbae people
who have lost a pet. Today I will light a
candle for the baby girl.
Lord in heaven have mercy.
I'll be praying for you Homerx for I know
how close you are to those puppies. You
were helping with the birthing. Each one
is so special.
Love you lot's and hope you are stronger
soon. Take your time.
Always, light and love
Mson

Oh
Mson....I thought I had cried all my tears
and you touch me so deep that a flood
comes threw me again...but its healing, as
you say...the poems were beautiful and
deep. You know, I always say DOG is GOD
spelled backwards...I say that every
day...and you lead me to this poem..
__________________________________________

Creation
When God had made the earth and sky,
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds, and bees
and when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.
When all were named upon the Earth
and in the Sky and Sea,
the little creature said, "Dear Lord,
there's no name left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you DOG, my friend".

Thank you..that helps heal my broken heart
more than you will ever know...I love you
so much,Steve/Homer
Homer, my heart is broken just knowing
your little girl has gone from you and her
mommy and Ricky. Did her little heart
give out, or what? You are never really
ever prepared for a sudden death. It
makes me cry to think about it Homer. It
can certainly knock the wind out of your
sails. Just rest and know there was
nothing you could do to stop her from
leaving.
They say only the good die young. Maybe
it is true. How is Cashae doing? She has
to be feeling her baby is missing. And
the other puppies too. Animals are smart.
They have a heightened sense of knowing.
Mson, I am so proud of you standing up for
your life, your home, your marriage, you.
Homer is right. You should not have to be
hiding things in your own home. That girl
probably gets through life worming her way
into people's lives and their homes. You
were more than good to her. You took her
in, gave her shelter and safety in your
home. You fed her. She is fine now. She
has to get off her backside and look for a
job. All the rest of us have to work.
What makes her so special that she doesn't
have to?
You did the right thing. I am glad BH was
gone or she might have tried to lay the
pity trip on him and it sounds like he has
a soft heart. People pick up on that and
use it to their own advantage.
What extra you have, use it for you and
BH. You are a hard worker and I can tell
you like order in your life. You are
meticulous in your home and work place. I
congratulate you on that.
I have to get some ironing done today.
Three sets of Italian sheets which I use
in the B&B and iron so they are fresh
and nice for the people. Then I put them
out in the sun so they smell wonderful.
Take care of yourselves, both of you.
And, again Homer, so very sorry to hear
about your baby girl.
Bobbie

My dear,
You will feel better. I think it is
harder when they are young. All the
dreams gone. I hope the other puppies are
healthy. Woi...I aways here the last one
is the weakest. Lord have mercy.
When I was going crazy I was writing
things down and one of the things I wrote
was DOG=GOD.
One day I was dying. I could start to see
light in the darkness, I did not know what
to do and I touched a dog that had jumped
into bed with us. We were visiting
parents in law mbae then they were
together.
The dog knew I was going through something
and slept close to me. The next day I
asked parents in law how I could be dying
and nobody notices but the dog? I was an
angry girl. I was weighing around 121
pounds. I was sick with Bi polar and the
weight I thought was the AIDS. But what I
am saying is after I touched the dog, the
madness reduced and I was able to sleep
which I had not done for days. A dog
helped me calm down. I still got admitted
to the mental hospital bit I didn't die.
Maggie is the name of the dog that saved
my life.
Dogs are precious. Baby girl is in heaven
with Jessy. I believe they have already
met. Toto in Kiswahili
means baby. Like the wizard of oz Toto.
I had my first panic attack watching that
movie. I had never seen a witch leave
alone a green one and I had never seen
talking trees. The wind. Jessy was known
as a toto when she was a baby. I
connected to this movie. I was Dorothy
and Toto was Jessy. The movie brew my mind
away. I didn't even finishing watching
before I was yelling and screaming for
Jesus. The movie impacted me. I had seen
the witch get out of the TV (I was sick),
and start pressing on my chest. I was
screaming and the then boyfriend was
worried about the neighbours and I told
him to call 911. I could have died.
Just memories.
My husband should be home tomorrow. I am
putting on loud music and cleaning the
house. It is 11:10am. I have a lunch
with a girlfriend at 1:30pm. I have had
breakfast. I will skip rope, smudge and
light a candle then I will start cleaning
eating from the care package that you
sent. I will sparkle one up later for you
and you departed puppy. Soo sad

I would like to be a guest at your bed and
breakfast one day because for sure you
take good care preparing for them. That's
so nice what you do. So loving.
Yes I had to stand on my own two feet last
night. I almost didn't do it Bobbie but
doing it gave me the confidence that I can
do this again. I was standing on you and
Homer's shoulders and also Pascale's and
my husband who told me I was the boss.
Really never thought of myself as the boss
around here. I can step into those shoes
no problem. Because I have been an
illegal alien for so long, I don't feel
like I own anything in this country. I do
have family and extended family but I
don't own them. If I am boss around here,
my husband should be too. Equal
opportunity.
Thanks for all the kind words Bobbie. You
always have the right thing to say.
I'll skip rope, smudge, light candle, put
loud music and get lost in the cleaning.
I love it.
Take care my love. Are you better
physically? Spiritually you sound great.
